Your statement that Kubota just started having their tractors tested at Nebraska in the last 10-15 years is an absolute contradiction to actual facts. Kubota used to "religiously" test their tractors at Nebraska, the first test being conducted in August of 1965. (test #906) Although that test involved little more that a "garden tractor" by USA standards, that was about all that Kubota built at the time. Following that test, Kubota tested no less than 21 different models either at Nebraska or at the test facility in Japan which met all of the Nebraska requirements and was signed off by Nebraska involving HP ratings exceeding 100. (M120 =102.3 PTO HP @2211 RPM tested in May of 1999) The problem that Kubota came to realize was that the so-called "Nebraska Test" was required for new tractors to be sold within the state of Nebraska. After approximately 34 years of paying a lot of $$$$ for these tests, Kubota was seeing practically no sales of its farm tractors in Nebraska. Nebraska farmers were buying Red, Green and Blue, period. Kubota elected to opt out of this costly venture which was gaining them nothing. Nebraska test labs spent a lot of time trying to convince them to return to the test track and they finally have and their tractors do quite well. In my case, they are supported by no less than 6 dealers within 20 miles and almost every medium sized tractor used in construction, landscaping, grounds maintenance, etc. is a Kubota. Not so many larger farm tractors, most of them are Red followed by blue and green. (In my area).
